Waiting up. · Tue Apr 29, 2008 9:47 am

Nicely done, Neume. I was right there at Frodo's side, stifiling the excitement I imagined we shared, but you kept his feelings hidden in plan site right to the end and it was a pleasure to discover them only then.

This was a very sweet thought! All the more bittersweet to think tere was one sign of hope Sam kept to himself, hidden even from Frodo, even after he gave up hope of return.

This is lovely, a new way, small, intimate way to see Middle Earth's most powerful couple. I love Arwen's coy voice - "guess?" It makes this a very personal piece as if heard whispered in your ear.

Very evocative, Dec. The scariest thing about walking in water is what you can't see, and you capture his unsure footing very well here without ever spelling it out.

Out, Damn'd Spot! Out, I Say! · Wed Mar 12, 2008 9:53 am

The thing I like about this particularly is that Maedhros's acceptance and understanding of the situation, his compassion for all involved, is somewhat cold comfort. At the same time he shelters his nephew, and encourages forgiveness, he kind of gives Celebrimbor a kick in the pants - "Deal with it." A difficult balancing act truly portrayed without any rushing or cramming despite the restrictions that come with drabble writing.

Nicely done, Al! Each different, each compelling, each fun in their very own way. The last was certainly my favorite, though.

Great job, Haleth! Worthy of posting, indeed. You took what could have been a quick joke and drew it out skillfully and captivatingly into a true story. Unlike most jokes, this has real characters and situations that kept me involved in the moment, forgetting to wonder when and where the punchline would come.

I love how you paid tribute in this every instant Arwen must have suffered for uncertainty throughout her long waiting, but then brought it down to something so simple and powerful.

Another excellent story, LBJ. I was brought to tears more than once and given a new, palpable vision of the Siege of Minas Tirith and the Battle of the Pellennor, much more like what must have been experienced during the Blitz I must imagine. Again, all your characters are true, strong, and rounded, your romance exciting and tantilizing. Fabulous!
